Thursday Night at MFF
18 years ago
So I am sitting here in my suite at MFF (hint: asking for a free upgrade occasionally WORKS) and I am EXHAUSTED. We started driving at 4 AM and because we'd pull over, have lunch, and stretch our legs and the like we got in here around 3 PM. Got signed in at the hotel, came to my room, showered, and found out lo and behold we could register tonight (had no idea). AND they fed us. Mashed potatoes in wine glasses. I have to admit that was pretty sweet. XD
Rathsmith went to the trivia contest and I wandered around a bit after taking Tensik out to play (lasted about 5 minutes . . . that suit is WAY too hot, I hope I can find someone who has the time to evaluate it and help me figure out how to cool it down somehow) and ran into
pyruss who is just plain AWESOME to hand around with, as is his roommate Falcon . . . . um . . . . . . okay, now I feel like shit. Falcon something. :D REALLY nice guy. Also met a bald eagle fellow named (kill me if I am wrong) Erik Alden? We hung out over art for a while and he's very nice as well. Then I finally got the call from Dineegla that the troops had arrived and were at the hotel, and they started chatting with this tall fellow with a shaved head who gave me this . . . LOOK. XD Freaking Greg told me he wouldn't be there and I missed his journal. Ratsmith tried to tell me he was coming and I kept insisting "no! he said he wasn't! I asked him!" So while I should have smacked him I didn't, he got hugged. XD (Yes, lion is hugging more than even the lion is comfortable with, I'm just flying high on names to faces at this point and too tired to NOT hug I guess). And (geez, trying to remember everyone) I met Khaz (we met briefly on another site once) and Kwipper (first person who knew my name and I knew his! VERY COOL!) and Ripner (gave me a conbadge holder from Elliot's live events!) and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . . . . . .
I'm still very much on the "wiggy" side as money is of course running down very quickly. I am armed with Pop Tarts though, so that should fuel me reasonably well between Wendy's chicken strips from Dineegla. Can't really say what kind of time I am having as I think I am still running strictly on fumes. The internet here sucks so I will probably only get on one more night and leave it at that . . . at $10 a day it's not worth it unless the connection is pretty stellar, but I had to check in with my (MY) wolfmonkey.
Fox: there is a grand piano in the lobby of the hotel right by the bar. :)

Sounds like things are going pretty cool there, so keep enjoying yourself, and make sure to bring me back a 24 pack of some generic store brand of soda. (Any flavor, but nothing diet). lol
It was great getting dinner and talking with you. I hope you had a fun time at the con, but it sounded like you were, so that's cool.
